Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 17, 1908.

Application :filed February 25, 1907. Serial No. 359,134.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELwooD SCOTT, a citizen of the United States,residing in Marion, in the county of Grant and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of whichthe following is a full and accurate exposition of the construction andoperation thereof, when taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing, being such as will enable others to construct and operate thesame with absolute exactitude.

My invention relates to heating stoves having a double fire-pot, or fuelchamber, a lower combustion chamber, and upper discharge chamber, and aseries of oblong flues connecting the interior of the combustion chamberwith the interior of the discharge chamber; and the objects of myinvention, among other things, are, first, to provide a stove having amaximum amount of radiating surfaces; second, to afford facilities forheating a room with a minin'ium amount of fuel; third, to provide meansfor maintaining either one or two separate and distinct fires in asingle stove, depending on the amount of heat required; and fourth, toprovide a stove which will be neat and attractive in appearance, strongand durable in construction, light in weight, easily operated andcontrolled, and which can be sold at a comparatively low price.

I attain the above, and other specific and subsidiary objects, by theconstruction visualized most clearly in the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section through a stoveembodying my improvements, the lower part of the stove being inelevation; Fig. 12 is a vertical longitudinal section taken between twoof the flues; Fig. 3 is a View partly in plan and partly in horizontalsection, with the upper discharge chamber removed; and Fig. 4 is adetail of the mode of securing the flues.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, which I will describe asbriefly and as comactl as I may: The letter A designates the goor inefor my stove.

The numeral l stove, or bottom denotes the stove egs, construction.

designates the base of the late; and the numeral 2 which arenof ordinaryNumeral 3 denotes a rectangular body having two sides and two ends whichrise vertically as shown, with the lower edges resting on and secured tothe edges of the base 1 in any preferred manner.

Covering the top of the body 3 and connected to the upper edges of thesides and ends thereof is the lower plate 4. Located equidistant apartand extending across and through the plate 4 are a plurality of slots 5,each having an upturned flange therearound, as indicated in the lowerportion of Fig. 2. In this instance there are twenty of said slots inthe plate Ll, although the number may be varied as desired, and the planof said slots will depend on the shape of the iues in cross sectionhereinafter described.

The numerals 6 designate a plurality of oblong flues, which arepreferably formed of sheet metal, and I prefer that they be flat or ovalin cross section, substantially as shown in the drawings. The lower endsof said flues 6 are adapted to rest on the upper face of the plate Ll,each fitting around one of the ianges extending up around the slots 5,as shown in the lower portion of Fig. 2, where they may be secured inany well known mannel', as for instance in the saine manner in which theupper ends of said flues'are secured as will presently be described.

7 designates the top plate, having slots or apertures S for thereception of the upper ends of the flues, which ends are flush with theupper surface of the plate.

The upper ends of the llues 6 are clamped within the slots of plate 7 bymeans of a plate 12 'formed in a plurality of sections. The sections ofsaid plate overlie plate 7 and the ends of the flues, and have aperturesbounded by depending Aflanges l-l, which latter 'fit snugly within theends of the llues and clamp the same against the sides of slots 8 inplat-e 7. The joints of all of said parts should be made air-tight, bymeans of cement or the like (not shown).

Rising from around the outer edges of the plate 7 are the sides andends, integrally connected together, forming the walls of the dischargechamber. Said walls which are designated by the numeral 9, are connectedat the top and covered over by a lid l0, forming the top of thedischarge chamber of the stove, thereby completing the inclosing of thedischarge chamber, and also forming the top of the stove proper. Openingout ol' the discharge chamber is the draft or discharge pipe B, toprovide means for the escape of smoke and odors rising from the fuel.

The letter C designates an urn or other conventional ornamentation,which rises from the center of the top l() to which it is secured.Located in the lower portion of the body 3 is a lire-pot which l preferto form into two distinct portions, indicated by the letter D and E,respectively, which parts are separated by a removable partition 13,whereby one or both portions may be used at one time, or they may beused separately. Said partition is held in place by cleats located oneach side.

The letters F and G designate doors leading to and underneath the tirepot. And letters H and l designate doors leading into the combustionchamber above the fire pot.

Magazines or chutes J and J are provided which open into the respectivelire-pots D and E, from the rear of the stove, or if desired saidmagazines may extend into the hre-pots from other points, beingvariously located as desired.

Operation: From the above it will have become notably apparent that anre may be maintained in either of the fire-pots D or E, or in both, asdesired, and as the heat therefrom rises it will collect in the chamberbelow the plate 4, and from there it will pass up the several flues 6,and thence into the discharge chamber at the top, the surplus togetherwith the smoke and gases passing out through the pipe B. By this it willbe observed that a great amount of radiating surface is provided, byreason of the heat having to `pass through so many lues by which theheat is transmitted to the room.

The radiated heat passing out into the room from around each of thelues, the natural currents of air in the room assisting in circulatingthe air around and between the lues, which would not be the case if thespaces between the lues were not open at each side, thereby more quicklydisseminating the warm air and heating the room more quickly and withless fuel than it has heretofore been possible to do. lt will beapparent that the shape of the iiues 6 is such as to cause the heat tobe radiated out into the room.

It is to be understood that various changes may be made in the detailsof construction herein shown without departing from the spirit of myinvention or sacrificing any of its many advantages, my intention beingt0 be broadly protected in the general principles herein involved.

Having now fully shown and described my invention and the best mannerfor its construction to me known at this time, what I claim and desireto secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

l. ln a heating stove, the combination ilues extending between andcommunicating with said chambers, of means for securing said i'lues inposition, consisting of a plate having apertures snugly receiving theilues at one end, and a clamping plate extending across the same ends ofthe ilues and provided with langes which inc-lose apertures in saidplate and lit tightly within the ends of the ilues, clamping the latteragainst the margins of the apertures in the irst-named plate.

2. In a heating stove, the combination with a combustion chamber and adischarge chamber, and a plurality of upright radiating lues extendingbetween and communicating with said chambers, of means for securing saidlues in position, consisting ol' a plate having apertures snuglyreceiving the liues at one end, and a clamping plate extending acrossthe same ends of the lues and provided with ilanges which incloseapertures in said plate and lit tightly within the ends of the iiues,clamping the latter against the margins of the apertures in thelirst-named plate, said clamping plate being constructed in sections,each section clamping the ends of a pluralityl of the flues.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

ELVOGD SCOTT.
